Bad breath or called as" halitosis"
there are various reasons for bad breath. First of all update your medical history as the problem could be elsewhere in your body but will be shown as bad breath through your mouth as mouth being the gateway for your complete system.
Apart from that there might be local soft or hard deposits on your teeth which can cause bad breath. This might need professional cleaning by the dentist
your teeth might be not well aligned, which we call as" crowded" teeth which makes its challenging for you to keep it clean. So consult an orthodontist (specialist for braces) to align your teeth.
Your health of the gums might be compromised which also leads to bad breath. Consult a periodontist for gum problems.
Your teeth might have cavities where the food can get lodged and might lead to bad breath. Consult your dentist for this.
Inspite of regular cleaning and brushing it might be difficult for you to get a fresh breath. As I mentioned above your dentist will tell you exactly the problem areas.
Make sure you do your part well. Regular brushing of your teeth twice daily regular flossing of your teeth (which means cleaning between your teeth by means of floss)
clean your tongue gently as it can harbour bacteria causing bad breath
stay away from tobacco related habits consume a lot of water and stay hydrated. As dry mouth also leads to bad breath.
Please do not use mouth washes if not prescribed by your dentist as they have their own side effects which would be a negative to your oral health.
Pay a visit to your dentist every 6 months or earlier for routine cleaning as suggested by your dentist.
Problems diagnosed and treated earlier needs less attention as well as works out financially easier for you.

First of all consult dentist to find exact cause of hypersensitivity. If it is due to wear off of enamel than than any sensitivity toothpaste can help or go for varnishing of affected tooth.

Bleeding gums are sign of infection due to plaque and calculus. Get scaling done by a dentist. For temporary relief, use mouthwash twice daily after proper brushing. Forceful gargle with water after eating or drinking anything. Avoid sticky n sweet food.
Limit your food intake to 3-4 times a day.

Hello Well, if you are suffering from some kind of infection then it may affect her. But it's actually suggested not to make oral contact when there is some lesions in mouth. So it's better if you wait. For quick results use honey on ulcer and let it flow by itself.

You might have to get root canal treatment. Composite or bridge can be done depending on the severity of trauma. I would suggest you visit a dentist. If you have any queries, please feel free to consult.

Whitish over the tongue could be due to fungal infection known as oral thrush.This could be due to bottle feeding also.As far as possible try to avoid bottle feeding.Apply candid mouth paint(drops) two times daily over the tongue for 4 to 5 days. In case of red coloured ulcers known as apthous ulcers apply Zytee gel.

Bleeding gums can be sign of early disease of the gums. You need to get your teeth professionally cleaned to remove any accumulated tartar on your teeth so that your gums can get healthy. After that brushing twice a day with a recommended technique and using a mouthwash regularly should help you maintain your gums in a healthy state.

Hello lybrate-user, thanks for your query. Well have you ever wonder why we call wisdom tooth wisdom, because it comes at age, at which person has gain wisdom. Well you will surprise to know that in most of people this tooth serves no function at all. It's like a vestigial organ just like apendix so if it's causing problem get it removed. It might damage adjacent teeth which will cause you more problem. So get it removed once for all and the best part is unlike other tooth you need not to replace it. It won't effect your jaw structure. Taking antibiotics might develop resistance in your body, so don't misuse drugs as it might harm you in your future life. I hope my suggestion would help you and soon you will get rid of your wisdom teeth. Thanks and regards.

it seems you might be having periodontal problem.. c/as pyorrhea...you need to get rid of it...
it needs aggressive therapy...you need to make a habit of rinsing your mouth everytime you eat
something and brush regularly (once in the morning before meals and once at night after dinner),add a mouthwash for better oral hygiene....

Hi lybrate-user
cleaning and whitening of teeth are two different things. Cleaning is known as scaling and it doesn't remove enamel layer where as whitening is done by bleaching which can cause sensitivity to hot and cold.
Hope it clarifies your doubt
